Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Anybody got a set of nut files they'd like to part with? I had some but I've torn the place apart and can't find them. Someone may have accidently tossed them out when cleaning. |

Location: Waurika OK | You can use tip cleaners for cutting torch. Not as good as nut files, but much cheaper. Comes in holder that has a goodly number, starting at .010 and graduated up in successively larger sizes. Hardware store, welding supply, etc. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Yeah, the feeler gauges cut the slots, and the tip cleaners round-out the bottoms. Pretty good combination, really. |

Cheapo's can be had for less but not very good.
I haven't been a ble to find the feeler gage style on Ebay for a while, I use those. I think they were about $40. |
